History
It was AGO's first design after its re-establishment at Oschersleben in 1934, offered against the same light-aircraft requirement that produced the Gotha Go 146 and Siebel Fh 104. The first prototype flew in mid-1935.
Variants
The V2 had a revised, braced tailplane. The V3, with Argus As 10E engines and a deeper fuselage, led to the Ao 192B production series.
Where you'll see it
Six production aircraft were built for the German state, used as transports by the Waffen-SS, at Rechlin, and as the personal aircraft of Dr Robert Ley.
